    I've never read so much utter tripe as this in my life. Bullying and shouting at a mismatched bunch of players with already low morale is the way to get them performing is it?
    Thankfully the board have ignored your simplistic nonsense and appointed a manager with a track record of turning round troubled clubs. The chances of Bowyer keeping us up are slim, but with Evans it would have been nailed on relegation in front of a divided and rapidly dwindling support base.

    anyone else find it pretty poor that we get more info from Jason Mckeown than Simon Parker?

    I'm not really fussed who delivers the info, as long as someone does.

    Not really. Jason is writing a blog for committed City fans. Simon Parker is writing a newspaper article for a much wider audience, to a tighter word limit.
    You'd obviously expect a blogger to go into greater detail.

    Barely heard much since the club announced Bowyer, lot of fans been asking questions to Simon all day and hes just ignored every single one.

    Jason seems to know quite a bit what goes on at City:

    And that is worrying, tell me any other industry where an employee produced nothing for his employer and got that sort of money, only football.

    Exactly. Evans may be what they deserve, but not what they need.

    Looks like a good, sensible appointment. Guided Blackpool to being a strong L1 side after being relegated to L2 - could have probably achieved more had he stayed.

    A manager that knows how to get out of L2 should it come to that.

    I have a mate who's a Blackpool fan that rates him highly and I remember he was disappointed when he left them.

    His record is fairly impressive to be honest. Can see why we went with him

    Yes but he still doesn’t have a job. I didn’t like him when he walked through the door and liked him even less when he left. In my view he enjoys his non working life better than his working life! We propped up his bank account nicely, for what exactly, being told we are a basket case?

    Agree with the big difference. Bowyer didn't fail in his last job
